Gold Tone Cat's Eye Gemstone Ring

The item is a statement ring featuring a prominent cabochon-cut gemstone, likely a cat's eye chrysoberyl or tiger's eye, set within a wide, yellow-toned metal band. The gemstone exhibits a distinct chatoyancy (cat's eye effect), visible as a bright, narrow line of light across its surface. The stone itself is ovular in shape with a smooth, domed top and appears to be a deep olive-green to brownish-green color with golden reflections. The metal band is substantial, appearing to be yellow gold or a gold-tone alloy, with a brushed or matte finish on the shoulders that flank the central gemstone. The band tapers slightly towards the bottom, but primarily maintains a wide profile, indicative of a modernist or mid-century design. There are no visible maker's marks or distinguishing engravings in the provided image. The ring appears to be in good overall condition consistent with age and regular wear, showing minor surface scratches on the metal that contribute to its patina rather than indicating significant damage. The craftsmanship appears solid, with the stone securely bezel-set or flush-mounted into the band, suggesting a durable construction. The overall style is bold and classic, suggesting an estimated age from the mid-20th century onwards.
